A-to-I mRNA editing in bacteria can affect protein sequence, disulfide bond formation, and function

Abstract excerpt

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) mRNA editing can alter genetic information at the RNA level and is known to affect protein sequence and function in eukaryotes. However, the ability of A-to-I mRNA editing to recode protein sequences in bacteria was never shown at the protein level. Furthermore, the effect of A-to-I mRNA editing itself-not by A-to-G DNA-mimicking mutations-on protein function was never demonstrated...
